maybe they think in terms of visuals and sensations since that's all they can relate to.

or maybe they think in some kind of unknown mathematical language superior to all others lol

I would imagine it would be the same as how they read. When we read we tend to hear the sounds, but I suppose a deaf person doesn't.

I guess they just see text in their mind perhaps, or sign language. But I wonder how a deaf illiterate thinks. I suppose it's mostly visual.

One part of my OCD is spelling out the individual words as I think them, it really slows down my thinking and processing. I also spell key words of other people's sentences which slows me down too. Sucks.

i can't pin down what my voice in my head sounds like. it changes a lot depending on if i'm thinking about it in the first place, like reading. or typing this, for that matter. i think in fragments, which is why i type like that. ill send messages over steam in chunks really fast. it'll end up being like 15 messages for a paragraph. typically, i have to talk with people to think through something in depth. otherwise there's just music in my head

i talk to myself

[Drydess]

a few years ago i started mentally narrating my life like a sitcom and it just stuck lol
though i usually don't think audibly, but visibly

for instance when i read i just think of giant ass versions of the words while i go

[Insert Name Here²]

Imagine talking to myself, except in my mind

Also my inner voice is the same as my real voice

[Master Matthew²]

or maybe you dont think at all hha

Hey, I take offense to that.
The voices in my head speak what I read.

Sometimes I find myself thinking out loud, or talking when there's no one around. Not like crazy talk, just kind of reacting to something out loud. I remember when I was younger my dad caught me talking out loud to myself a few times, so he took me to a child psychologist but they found nothing wrong with me. When we got home my dad took a shoe off and beat the absolute hell out of me with it for wasting $100 on a psychologist. I try to make a voluntary effort to not think out loud but sometimes it just happens. I've never really thought about what my thinking voice sounds like, though. I guess it sounds like my voice?

i think your dad's the one who needs a psychologist for beating his kid for 100 bucks
